Nancy's Knit KnacksLearn to Spin Kit

Share This

A terrific gift for anyone interested in learning to use a drop spindle. This kit contians a quality hardwood top whorl, drop spindle with an oil finish, and a custom designed spindle hook, one ounce of natural fiber, and an instructional video how to use a drop spindle to spin fiber.

NOTE: These kits now contain natural fiber (not multicolored). The company's packaging has not yet been updated and still shows multicolored fiber on the outside and has an insert that refers to multicolored fiber.

I received this as a gift. This was originally advertised as having one ounce of multicolored fiber. The picture on the box included a lovely blueish fiber that I was so looking forward to trying. Instead, it contained an ounce of natural fiber. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the box! I contacted WEBS immediately and didn't hear back from them until I contacted them a second time and informed that they would not be getting a favorable review. I was asked to hold off on the review until they could contact the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the manufacturer decided to change the fiber they included in the kit without changing their advertising. WEBS offered to exchange the kit or provide a 20% discount. I accepted the discount for my mother who purchased the kit since I really liked the spindle after giving it a little TLC. I've only watched half of the video included, but it seems good enough.

I didn't buy the kit from here. I actually got to take her class first hand at a fiber festival and bought my spindle from her. She is very easy to understand and the spindle is absolutely great. I would definitely recommend this kit for anyone who wants to learn to use a spindle.
